you only entered 500+ GAs. Now go look at number of entries in those. few hundreds if not over a 1000 or 2000 I guess? Noiw do a simple math ;)
If you enter mostly low level public GAs you will wait a long for your 1st win, because there are hundreds/thousands of entries in each and all entrants has the same chance to win. Be active on forums to get whitelists, look for groups, solve puzzles, join forum events and so on. Or wait until you level up quite a lot and only enter higher lvl GAs ;)

well, depends on what you consider a "trick" ;) Generally there is no direct trick to boost your chances in exact GA. Every entrant in GA has the same chances to win. So if you're in GA with 4 other people you have 20% chance to win, if you are in GA with 99 other ppl you have 1% chance to win, 999 other people 0.1% chance and so on and on ;)
The actual trick is to find GAs that give you bigger chance to win - and these are either high level GAs (for example there are over 800000 lvl 0-1 users and only 1500+ lvl 7+ users, so obviously GAs for lvl7 will have much less entries than for lvl 0), or finding non-public GAs, and it means getting on people whitelists, getting into groups, getting into events, solving puzzles, entering forum-only GAs etc ;) In these GAs you will still have the same chance to win as everyone else, but there will be less people in GA, so your chances will be higher ;)

how do you tell how many ga's someone else has entered?

click Users ( https://www.steamgifts.com/users ) at the bottom of the page then enter a nickname ;)
For example https://www.steamgifts.com/users/search?q=niceguyjon shows you entered 902 GAs :>

you indeed never won (but did some giveaways) I will put you on my whitelist so you have more chances
maybe you can enter some groups?
Comment has been collapsed.
No problem. :)
You're already level 2, which increases your odds by a great deal. The more you give away, the more you level, get invited to some amazing groups, and get added to whitelists. Just keep entering for games you want to win and good luck to you.
It looks like you're on the right path already. :)

thank you and Fallen Kal is right :)
you are indeed on my wl

I don't know anything about these SteamGifts memberships, unless you mean those "trains" I see sometimes in discussions, and I've managed to win three giveaways now.
So I suppose the answer to your question. Sheer luck and persistence... and a big wishlist also helps.

don't mind this comment ;) There are no special "premium memberships" - it's just a SG meme. People cry that XYZ win more than them without considering he's solving puzzles, is higher level, is in groups etc, so ppl make fun of OP by saying "well, that;s becaue XYZ paid for Premium Account" ;)

well, if you want to start solving puzzles, a little shamless advertising: https://www.steamgifts.com/discussion/TLR8m/zelgh-magic-guide-to-basic-sg-puzzling-update-april-2016 :D:

Actually I've won three giveaways so far, two out of sheer luck (and another that had more copies than entries).
The strange thing is, the ones I won, I don't think I had a .1% chance at winning. I guess it comes down to just simply hopping on and using your points and hoping you get lucky.

There's no trick. Just try to be more lucky. xD And also, the less entries that a giveaway you have entered has, the more chances that you may win. Still, you can even win among thousands of entries or lose when there are only 2 entries. Just like I said, it's a matter of luck. :P

Just keep entering.
As a general rule your chance will be higher if you're a member of a low-population steam group, or on many whitelists, or you enter for high-contributor value giveaways.
It's pure luck.

SG Premium is the only way, of course! Naw, it's just based on luck. The lower the amount of entries, the higher the chance. But you qualify to join the Unlucky-7. I've been a part of that group for a few weeks now, and I won three games from the group o:

Of course there is a secret trick involved!
Hidden, because it is secret. You have to sacrifice goats to bribe the RNGods! Inthe beginning, you nearly will an 1goat per win ratio, later you will need less goats. Other users have suggested one should use virgins instead of goats, but my one and only try did not yield a good result. KEEP USING GOATS!

Try to enter your Level giveaways, what have 1-2 hours remain time only. Open Discussions and enter trains, solve puzzles.

Its all luck and also levels. Many people enter thousand GAs before winning one and some lucky guys win many games in same time. What you can do is GA more and reach level 3 at least so you can access higher level GAs with less entries. Also if you are in Whitelists or some groups you get more chances to win. Your rep, luck, friendship and networking gets you there. In the meantime keep on GA.

I have been on this site for quite some time now, even gave a couple games away. However I have never won a game yet. Is there like a trick to win one, that I don't know of. Or am I just unlucky?
thanks for your time.
